“…Tutors inserted comments into the drafts in one of two ways: First, they were allowed to select an error category from a fixed list, called the comment bank. Adopted from the XWiLL project (Wible et al 2001) but considerably expanded, the comment bank contains a total of 78 categories, each given a numeric code. In Fig.…”

“…For example, through a web-based EFL writing environment, the XWiLL project offers a searchable database of essays written by students with teachers' comments (Wible et al 2001); however, the impact of the comments on students' revisions cannot be directly traced. One corpus that aims to address this question is the Malmö University-Chalmers Corpus of Academic Writing as a Process (Eriksson et al 2012).…”

Learner corpora consist of texts produced by non-native speakers. In addition to these texts, some learner corpora also contain error annotations, which can reveal common errors made by language learners, and provide training material for automatic error correction. We present a novel type of error-annotated learner corpus containing sequences of revised essay drafts written by non-native speakers of English. Sentences in these drafts are annotated with comments by language tutors, and are aligned to sentences in subsequent drafts. We describe the compilation process of our corpus, present its encoding in TEI XML, and report agreement levels on the error annotations. Further, we demonstrate the potential of the corpus to facilitate research on textual revision in L2 writing, by conducting a case study on verb tenses using ANNIS, a corpus search and visualization platform.

“…Suzuki, Jung, Watanabe, Min and Yoshihara (2004) saved data posted on a bulletin board system by Japanese and Korean learners of English as a corpus in the web server and carried out quantitative and qualitative analyses of the data. Wible, Kuo, Chien, Liu & Tsao (2001) describe a language learning environment called IWiLL, 3 which has been designed to serve the needs of a second language writing course. With the students' permission, the essays sent to the teacher over the Internet are stored together with the teachers' error 3.…”

Learner corpora, electronic collections of spoken or written data from foreign language learners, offer unparalleled access to many hitherto uncovered aspects of learner language, particularly in their error-tagged format. This article aims to demonstrate the role that the learner corpus can play in CALL, particularly when used in conjunction with web-based interfaces which provide flexible access to error-tagged corpora that have been enhanced with simple NLP techniques such as POStagging or lemmatization and linked to a wide range of learner and task variables such as mother tongue background or activity type. This new resource is of interest to three main types of users: teachers wishing to prepare pedagogical materials that target learners' attested difficulties; learners themselves for editing or language awareness purposes and NLP researchers, for whom it serves as a benchmark for testing automatic error detection systems.

“…Because online classes are increasingly common, numerous researchers have attempted to develop innovative approaches that meet the needs of online learners and are not limited to face-to-face conferencing (Hyland & Hyland, 2006;Miller, 2001;Peterson, 2001;Wible, Kuo, Chien, Liu, & Tsao, 2001). DiNucci (1999) coined the term Web 2.0 to describe the features of information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design, and collaboration.…”

In the traditional instructional method used in international trade, teachers provide knowledge to learners by lecturing using slides and setting assignments; however, these methods merely deliver international trade knowledge rather than facilitating student development of relevant skills. To solve these problems, we proposed a simulationbased learning system for international trade, combining international trade-process simulation and business letter writing. We investigated learner opinions toward the system and the quality of business letters by using quantitative and qualitative analyses.Regarding the results, learners perceived that the proposed system improved their knowledge of international trade and business English.
